Sean Ross, Britt’s communications director, called the online claims “intentionally, flagrantly false.”
The false claims stem from a provision in the bill that would create a new federal website called pregnancy.gov with resources for pregnant and postpartum people, as well as parents of young children. It would include a questionnaire aimed at directing users to resources within their zip code, the bill text published on Britt’s website says.
